Wedge Awnings in The Garden Route
Wedge Awnings: From Plettenberg Bay to Mossel Bay
Elevate your outdoor living and business frontage. Our Custom Blinds® wedge awnings deliver year-round shade, rain protection and a modern architectural edge designed for the beauty and unpredictability of South Africa’s Garden Route.
Why Choose a Wedge Awning from Custom Blinds®?
A wedge awning is a fixed, angled canopy that projects from your building, offering reliable cover and style. Unlike retractable units, the frame is permanent, giving you instant shelter when coastal sun or showers arrive. This makes it ideal for outdoor entertainment areas, patios, shopfronts and entrance doors. It’s also perfect for linking with other solutions like awnings or indoor blinds for a full lifestyle solution.
- All-weather cover: An angled profile sheds rain and stands up to coastal winds – a must for Garden Route conditions.
- Cooler interiors: Keeps glare and heat out, protecting floors, furnishings and window dressings.
- Modern style: Sharp, clean lines complement contemporary homes and commercial facades.
- Brand-ready: Broad face panel can carry tasteful signage or logos for retailers and cafés.
- Longevity: Powder-coated frames and UV-stable fabrics resist salt, moisture and fading.
Materials and Style Options
Our wedge awnings are custom-made. Frames are crafted from marine-grade aluminium to withstand the salty coastal air. The canopy can be solution-dyed acrylic for vibrant colour and UV resistance or PVC-coated fabrics for extra rain protection. Choose colours and patterns to match your building – neutral tones for subtlety, bold stripes for statement appeal. Side panels can be open for lightness or enclosed for extra shelter. We design for wide openings too, joining frames for continuous coverage across shopfronts or wrapping corners.
Pair your wedge awning with roller blinds or shutters for complete light control inside and out.
Residential and Commercial Uses
For homes: Shield patios, decks, pool areas and sliding doors so you can entertain even in light rain or harsh sun. Wedge awnings also protect interiors from UV damage and reduce cooling costs. They add curb appeal to any property, especially coastal homes.
For businesses: Ideal for commercial fronts, restaurants, boutique hotels and retail windows. A wedge awning provides weather protection for customers, reduces glare on displays and creates a branded focal point. Print your logo or name on the front panel for visibility.
Designed for the Garden Route Climate
The Garden Route’s coastal weather is unique sunny mornings, sudden showers and salty air. That’s why our wedge awnings are engineered for strength and treated to resist corrosion and mildew. Professional installation ensures the awning is anchored securely for wind. Fabrics are waterproof and colourfast, holding their look season after season. Our local expertise means your awning is suited to real-life conditions across Knysna, George, Mossel Bay and beyond.
Care and Maintenance
Maintenance is simple: rinse the fabric regularly to remove dust and salt, brush lightly with mild soap for stubborn spots, and check bolts annually. Trim branches nearby and avoid sharp contact with the canopy. Proper care can give your wedge awning a lifespan of over 10 years.
